Gott, Mensch und Geschichte: Studien zum Verstandnis des Menschen und seiner Geschichte in der klassischen, biblischen und nachbiblischen Literatur (Beihefte zur Zeitschrift fur die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft, Volume 413)

“ This being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor...Welcome and entertain them all. Treat each guest honorably. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. ” ― Rumi
